The Ultimate Saiyan

Last time: Goten fell to the might of his new enemy. But Gohan arrived on the scene just in time. Gohan has now transformed into a super Saiyan 2 and is ready to fight.

Chapter 2: Return of the King

Pan dropped Goten onto the ground.

"Geez, you are heavy," she complained. "Well, time to find Trunks."

She started walking off when she heard Goten say something. She turned, looking at him. But he didn't say anything else, which made her think she was imagining things.

"I'm going to find Trunks." She informed Goten. But if he heard, he didn't respond.

The wind started picking up and the sun was going to set soon. Gohan and the demon faced one another, each trying to read the other warrior's mind, waiting for the other to attack. Gohan made the first move and swung for the demon. The demon blocked Gohan's attack. Gohan attacked the demon continuously, but despite his attempts, all his hits were blocked. Gohan stepped back, rethinking the situation. Seeing as he couldn't hit the demon, he'd let the demon attack him. The demon went to kick Gohan at lightning speed, but Gohan disappeared, leaving the demon searching. The demon looked around; trying to spot his pray, as Gohan suddenly appeared behind the red devil and kicked him in the back of head. The demon flipped forward and landed on his feet, but didn't have a moment's peace as Gohan went to attack again and managed to strike the demon on the face. The demon angrily sprung for Gohan, who easily kicked his attacker into the rocky mountain, followed by a crash. The demon darted back to hit Gohan, but Gohan calmly kicked him into the ground. Using this advantage, Gohan quickly jumped up and came down at an angle crashing his feet onto the demon with such an amazing force, it sent the demon sliding across the rocky ground, uprooting it. Gohan landed on the ground gently and waited for his enemy to get up. The demon got to his feet and looked at Gohan, who was beaming.

"What's wrong, can't hit me?" Gohan said taunting his enemy.

Gohan thought this was it. This demon had met his match. Gohan was just too strong. At least that's what he thought. But fear wasn't in the demon's face. Not even a bit. In fact, he did the most unexpected thing. To Gohan's surprise, he started laughing. The demon started to glow ruby red once and a big flash went off, blinding the Saiyan. But as the light died down, Gohan saw no difference in the demon's appearance and no change in his power level. But then what happened?

"What did you do?" Gohan asked.

Pan returned to Goten with Trunks. She practically fell to the ground as she tried to land. She lifted Trunks and just dumped him onto the ground. He was unconscious. He wouldn't care. And if he got a bruise, she could blame it on the demon. She looked up when she heard a noise to see Goten was lying up against a rock.

"Oh, good, your up," Pan said. "So what's new?"

"Can you feel that energy?" Goten asked, ignoring Pan's humor.

"It's my dad," Pan answered. "He's fighting that thing."

"No, not that energy," Goten stated. "Someone else is here."

"Where?"

He pointed to a mountain. "Somewhere down there."

Pan looked from where they were and saw just a mountain. Her eyes traveled across it to see cave along the path.

"I'll go check it out." And then she took off again.

Videl watched as Krillin landed. She found it odd that he had called a meeting of just Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu and herself. Usually, in these training sessions, the must be here were Vegeta, Goten, Trunks, Uub and sometimes Gohan and Eighteen. What she also found odd was why they were meeting behind the waterfall, in a cave none of them had been to in a while. Another thing she found odd was that Krillin communicated through a letter to her. Maybe he didn't want the Saiyans to know about this meeting. But why?

Krillin looked around. "Hey guys!"

"Hey, man," Yamcha replied. "Long time no see."

"We all saw each other last week, Yamcha," Videl replied.

It was true. She saw the guys regularly. One thing about being new at the whole energy/power thing was that everyone wanted to teach the rookie; and Videl got to train extremely well with the guys and then again with the Saiyans and then again with all of them. She had already mastered the Kamekameha Wave and her fighting style and power level were ten times better than before. She could definitely take on one of the guys. Maybe not Gohan, but some day. She joined in on all the hellos and then turned to Krillin.

"So, why'd you call a meeting?" She asked him.

"What?" Tien said, surprised. "You called the meeting."

"Yeah," Chiaotzu agreed.

"Yeah," Krillin did too. "You and Gohan."

"Gohan?" Videl queried. "Gohan doesn't even know I'm here."

"Wait," Yamcha said. "Tien, didn't you call the meeting?"

"What, me?" Tien replied. "No, Videl did."

"I didn't," She defended herself. "Krillin did."

"Me?" Krillin was more surprised now. "I got a letter from Gohan."

"Wait, you got a letter. Me too, but mine was from you."

Yamcha went pale. "Mine was from Tien."

"Well we got one from Videl," Tien said as Videl slowly walked to the cave door, which was covered by the waterfall.

"Well," Videl questioned. "If we didn't call each other…"

"Then who did?" Chiaotzu finished.

The boys started talking, but Videl blocked them out as she walked towards the opening. She felt something. Or someone. But she couldn't see through the waterfall. At least, not a person. But when a golden light illuminated the water, she knew what was going on.

"Get down!" She shouted as the first energy ball hit the side of the entrance, blowing it up.

Videl hit the ground as the rest came through. She jumped, dodging one and the guys deflected them, all over the cave, blowing the walls and the floor and the ceiling. She deflected some too. But then they started to hit. She took one right in the chest and her body felt as though it were on fire as it blew. The guys were hit too and it seemed the place was about to collapse. And then the blasts stopped. Videl was on the floor. Sore, but nothing broken. Before, one of those would have killed her, but now, at least she could stand. She looked at the guys. A few cuts and bruises, but nothing looked severe. Videl was ready to move. This place wasn't going to stand long.

"Everyone okay?" Tien asked.

Before they could answer, the formal voice echoed through the area.

"Super Galick Gun."

"No," Videl answered Tien's question as the water lit up a purple colour.

And then the energy wave hit, demolishing the cave.

"Kamehameha!"

Eighteen blew the mountain too the ground in a flash. A giant light blue flash known as The Kamehameha Wave – courtesy of Goku. She was about to shoot another blast at another mountain, when all of a sudden, her systems picked something up. She flipped, just dodging the golden blast which exploded as it hit the mountain. She turned and dodged another blast which brought the entire mountain down. She moved quickly as her attacker flew for her. She dodged the charge and as he stopped and moved for her, she quickly kicked him away. He flipped back through the air and came to a halt. Eighteen looked at him properly and gasped.

"But…" She started. "You're dead."

"No I'm not," the Super Saiyan 2 replied. "Can't you see? I'm right here."

"Why's your voice different?" Eighteen queried, getting ready to fight.

Turles smirked. This foolish girl thinks I'm Kakarot. Well, I'll just have to show her how wrong she is.

He powered up and charged for Eighteen, who was already prepared for a fight.

Back at the fight, Gohan was trying to figure out what his enemy did. He began to glow and then flashed and then… nothing. Nothing had changed.

"Well, answer me!" Gohan demanded. "What did you do?"

The demon pounced forward, towards Gohan. Gohan shot an energy blast at the demon, but the demon split into two different people in a second. Gohan, startled, began fighting the two demons while still trying to figure out what just happened. Gohan hit one of the demons in the face, but was hit by the other demon in the stomach. He jumped back while holding his stomach. The demons came to both of his sides and charged him. Gohan put out his hands and energy wave emerge from his hands, but the two demons both split into two more demons, dodging the blasts once more. All four demons attacked Gohan at the same time, making it almost impossible to defend himself – even though he tried his best. He sent an energy shield out that knocked the four warriors away. Gohan backed away, making sure all four of the demons were in front of him. He held both hands out and shot four energy blasts, which were just dodged. And then they split again, making eight demons, each powering up energy in both hands. And then they fired, all shooting multiple energy balls at Gohan, who tried his best to dodged and deflect the blasts. But, one against eight was too much and soon he was over whelmed. He managed to fire a giant wave back, which they all had to dodge. Four of the demons jumped up into each other fusing into one, which was looking down, towards the front of Gohan. At the same time the four other demons did the same thing, except they disappeared and ended up facing Gohan's back. Both of the demons shot mouth blasts, directly hitting Gohan, causing an explosion which shook the earth as they wounded the Saiyan warrior in its burning energy.

Pan made it to the cave. When she landed, she felt the earth shake a little as she heard an explosion.

"Dad?" Pan whispered.

As she turned she saw a red energy blast coming for her just in time to dodge it. Just then something flew past her, but it was too quick to see.

Gohan got up, beaten and bruised, to find the two demons in front of him. He dodged one punch, only to be hit back by another.

"What's wrong boy?" a voice came from behind Gohan.

"I know that voice," Gohan said as he turned to see a familiar face. "Dabura!"

"That's Demon King Dabura to you boy," Dabura demanded.

"Like I'd ever call you king," Gohan said. "What's going on here?"

"I see Octagon's giving you problems," Dabura stated.

"Who?"

"The demon you've been fighting, you idiot."

"Octagon?" Gohan turned to the demon.

"Yes, but I'm not here for introductions.

"Why are you here?"

"That's simple. I'm here to destroy you."

"How?" Gohan asked partially laughing. "You're weaker than your Octagon over there."

"Fool, I'm the demon king. Come to me Octagon."

Gohan turned to see Octagon glow bright red once more. Other trick was the first thought.

"What are you doing?" Gohan asked.

"You'll find out soon enough," Dabura answered as a red aura transferred from octagon to Dabura.

King Kai found it odd. Supreme Kai said he'd be back in a matter of minutes. He just had to attend to a problem. That was three hours ago.

"Goku?"

Goku looked up from Bubbles, the money. "Yeah?"

"Have you seen the Supreme Kai?" King Kai asked.

Goku thought for a moment. "Nope. Why? Is something wrong, King Kai?"

"I don't know. I just have a bad feeling. Go look for him Goku. I'm going to find out if something is happening on Earth."

Goku thought for a second. He figured he could do something else besides just train, eat and play with bubbles. For the year he had been dead, that was all he did and despite his love for fighting, eating and making a monkey of himself, it did get a little boring on some days.

"Okay," Goku agreed and quickly took off. After all, it was a simple task. He was sure the Supreme Kai was okay. And what did King Kai say about Earth? Goku shrugged it off. Earth had Vegeta. He was sure his friends were safe.

Piccolo knocked the giant beast down, putting an end to its annoying attacks. Hell was bad enough without having to deal with everyone else's rubbish. Speaking of rubbish, the Saiyans had been awfully quiet. Turles had managed to progress to Super Saiyan by some twist of fate and used every chance he had to rub it in Piccolo's face. Sadly, for the Saiyan, Piccolo was never in the mood and still above a Super Saiyan in terms of power. In fact, with a year of constant training in hell and having to fight old enemies such as Cell, Frieza and even Bojacks, he had even leveled a Super Saiyan 2, maybe even surpassed it. Still, even with his high power level, it didn't ease his mind. Where in this hell were Turles and the rest of the Saiyans? And if they weren't in hell… then where were they? And how did they get there?

Dabura remembered back to when he was being beaten by Buu. He was amazed by Majin Buu's power. But, it wasn't a mutual feeling. Buu quickly got bored and turned Dabura into a cookie. After that, Buu picked up the Dabura cookie and ate it, ending the Demon King's life.

But, that was a different life and he had other things to worry about. One was watching Gohan's face. Dabura laughed on as Gohan watched him absorb Octagon.

When Dabura had finished absorbing Octagon he turns to Gohan. "Where were we?"

"I was just about to ask how you are still breathing," Gohan replied.

"Fool, your evil friend revived me," Dabura answered. "What was his name again? Ah, yes, Vegeta."

"No way!" Gohan protested. "Vegeta would never revive you!"

"Oh please, that fool didn't even know he was doing it," Dabura replied. "I was revived when he revived everyone that little pest, Majin Buu, killed."

"What? Vegeta only resurrected the good people."

"Yes, well since you put it that way, you can blame King Yemma."

"And why's that?"

"Because, he put me in heaven. Said I was going to enjoy hell due to the fact I was the Demon King."

"I know your kind Dabura and I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to kill you."

Dabura laughed. "What makes you think you can?"

Gohan charged Dabura and hammered him in the gut. Gohan then hit Dabura to the ground followed by quite a few of energy blasts. It took Gohan longer to power up the last blast but it was worth it, because it hit the ground, it caused a huge explosion which covered Dabura. Gohan watched as the smoke cleared, but when he saw the ground, Dabura wasn't there. Did he die that easily?

"Wow, that actually might have hurt if it hit me," Dabura said from behind Gohan. "My turn."

Dabura charged Gohan and started punching his face. Dabura ended his attack with a punch to the stomach and a hit to the head sending Gohan crashing into the ground. Gohan got up coughing due to the hit to his stomach.

Man, he's a lot stronger than before Gohan thought.

He slowly floated upwards to Dabura's level. They stared at each other and as though reading each others minds, they both started powering up, a golden aura around Gohan and a red one around Dabura. In a flash they were in front of each other throwing fists.

Supreme Kai woke up. He blinked and let the sun of his world settle on his eyes. What had happened? He remembered sensing something weird on the Planet of the Kais. He went to go and investigate. Found nothing on it. No, that wasn't true. He sensed a power. A Saiyan power. A Super Saiyan power. At first he thought it was Goku, but decided against it when an energy blast hit him. That's right. There were two of them. The one shot and the other hit. And the other shot, then a blow to the head and now he had woken up. The Supreme Kai shot up, realizing he was attacked. But he was still alive, so why attack him? Did they want something? He had nothing valuable on him, he was sure. But then why was he still breathing?

"Supreme Kai!" Goku screamed as he flew over the mountain and landed. "I knew I'd find you here. Um…Supreme Kai? Why are you sitting on the floor?"

He looked up at the Saiyan. And then he remembered seeing one of his attackers' faces. "We've got a problem Goku?"

Pan landed by Goten and Trunks. Trunks was still unconscious.

"What's going on?" Goten asked.

"Honestly?" Pan replied. "I have no idea."

Eighteen knocked Turles straight into the mountain. He stuck to it like a fly to fly paper, but quickly released energy which dissolved the rock around him.

He watched Eighteen. "You seem stronger than you're supposed to be."

Eighteen smirked. "You're right there. The question is, who are you and how did you know that?"

"My name's none off your business," Turles replied. "And let's just say hell is a great source of information."

"Hell? You're dead?"

"Not anymore," Turles charged. "But that's more than I can say for you."

"Bring it on!"

Eighteen blocked another attack by Turles and knocked the Saiyan away. She attacked him viciously, knocking him back and appearing behind him, kicking him upwards. She appeared above him and came down, one foot out and bashed into him, causing him to fly down, only for her to appear halfway and kick him into the same mountain. She held out her hand as a pink energy ball appeared in her hand. She shot it off and it hit directly, blowing not only the mountain but the Saiyan. The only difference was that the mountain crippled and Turles was still there. Angry, bruised, but there.

"This is disgraceful, Turles," A voice appeared form her side.

Eighteen looked and gasped once more. "How many Goku's are there?"

"Goku?" The Super Saiyan 3 replied.

Turles appeared next to him. "She mean's Kakarot."

Eighteen examined them. The one named Turles looked like Goku, but had a darker skin and also a meaner face. Goku was kind and pure hearted. This guy looked like a completely evil Saiyan, bent on just killing. As for the other guy, he looked just like Goku too. Maybe his features were a bit sharper than Goku's, but he looked just like Goku. The only thing that was different from Goku and Turles was that this Super Saiyan 3 had a scar on his cheek. It was battle scar, that was for sure. Eighteen stopped thinking as she dodged a blast. She needed to get out of here. One Super Saiyan 2 was easy, but when back up was a Super Saiyan 3… that could be an issue. But Eighteen couldn't fly away. They'd catch her easily. She looked down at the forest and had an idea. She needed to get to the tall mountain behind them.

She flew for them, shooting a blast at the last Saiyan. He dodged and she quickly kicked Turles away as hard as she could. The other Saiyan came down and she tried to hit him, but he dodged and hit back, only to be blocked. She kicked him away, but he was on her already and hit her back. She stopped and went for him, dodging an attack and kicking him in the head. She placed her hands by his chest and let out an energy wave which blew him away. He flew it the forest and an explosion followed. She turned, only to be hit by Turles. She blocked the next attack, but was hit from behind by the other Saiyan and then kicked to him by Turles. The other Saiyan then kicked her sideways. She went flying for the mountain she wanted to get to and broke straight through it. She was ticked off, but attack would be stupid. She swallowed her pride and went to the top of the mountain. And then she started shooting blasts through it at the Saiyans. They dodged easily, laughing at the stupid android and she moved down the mountain. Only when the mountain went down, surrounded by dust, did they realize what was going on.

Eighteen followed the mountain down, the dust covering her. She hit the ground and started running. She was an android, so it was impossible to sense her. She heard explosion in the distance. She floated up and looked to the sky to see the desperate Saiyans trying to blow up the entire forest. Too bad they were going the wrong direction. She landed once more and continued to run and when she was far enough, too far for them to see, she took to the sky and flew away. She got away easily. After all, they could shoot all the forests they want. They'd never catch her, because they couldn't sense her.

Videl broke out of the rubble, followed by Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha. They could all hardly move, just lie on the rocks and hope to be found before the sun completely set.

"Did someone get the license plate of the truck that hit us?" Krillin joked.

Videl couldn't help but laugh. She was happy to be a live, to survive the attack. But who had attacked them? And why? It was Super Saiyan, she knew that much. Is that why the Saiyans weren't there. Had Goten or Vegeta or Trunks gone bad? Or maybe Gohan? No! It was impossible. None of them would do that and even if they did, they would have fought like normal warriors. No, this was someone else. Someone who wanted them out of the way. Broly? No, he would have destroyed the entire area. And he wouldn't have cared enough to trap them like that. But what the hell had hit them? It was a Galick Gun. Vegeta's move. But would he turn?

"You guys need some help?" Videl heard a voice. "Or Sensu Beans?"

Uub landed on he ground and feed Krillin one first, before moving to Videl.

"Watch happened here?" Uub asked as Videl got up, healed.

"You know, the usual," Videl replied. "We came, met to train, got blown up…"

"Yeah," Tien agreed as he got up. "But who blew us up?"

"Or thought he did?" Yamcha said as he got up. "Who ever attacked us wanted us dead. The blast was extremely strong."

"Something's going on here," Uub replied. "Seven strange power levels have appeared out of nowhere. Let's get to the look-out. We'll make a plan there."

Gohan and Dabura continued to attack each other, but not one could make a hit. The fight continued until Gohan punched Dabura in the gut, followed by Gohan continuing to slam Dabura in the gut and then knock him in the face, sending him flying. As Dabura flew back Gohan appeared in his path and blasted him, sending him flying back to where he started. Gohan again intercepted Dabura's path and as Dabura's head reached Gohan he kneed him in the face, making Dabura flip backwards. When Dabura got control of himself he looked at Gohan with his bloody face.

"How dare you!" Dabura shouted.

Dabura charged Gohan and started punching Gohan in the face. Gohan grabbed both of Dabura's fists as he swung them and kneed him in the stomach. Then he gave Dabura a head butt and kicked him down with all his might. Gohan pulled his hands back.

"Kamehameha"

The blast hit Dabura as he stood up, causing the ground around him to break and dissolve and crack on the edges of the crater it had caused. Dabura lay on the floor, as Gohan landed near him. The Demon King slowly pulled himself up onto his feet and faced Gohan.

Covered in blood and bruises, Dabura smirked. "Is that all you got?"

Dabura charged Gohan and began punching and kicking Gohan all over his body. Finally, Dabura placed his hands at Gohan's chest and blasted Gohan into a mountain. Gohan burst out of the rubble bleeding from his forehead.

"You just made a big mistake!" Gohan threatened.

Gohan stopped and started powering up, the ground around him burning away. The golden aura around him grew and grew, until finally, Gohan charged Dabura. Gohan hit him hard about five times before he hit him away. As Dabura flew back Gohan followed him, connected his fists and hit Dabura down, smashing into the ground, like breaking into ice. Gohan stopped ahead of Dabura and fly went back as Dabura got up elbowing the demon in the back of the head, making him spit blood. Gohan jumped away and stood, facing his enemy with a big grin, until he saw Dabura get up laughing.

"You think you've won?" Dabura asked. "You're not even close."

"Oh yeah?" Gohan said.

"Yes," Dabura replied. "Soon, my foolish friend, you will find death."

"You first," Gohan responded.

Dabura quickly blasted Gohan with a massive energy blast, which took the Saiyan by surprise. He blocked with his arm, which felt as though it was on fire by the energy. His feet jammed into the ground as he tried to hold himself steady. The blast finally blew and when the smoke died down, Dabura could see that Gohan's arm was covered in blood from blocking the giant blast.

"What's wrong?" Dabura asked, chuckling maliciously.

"Nothing!" Gohan shouted angrily.

"That's too bad, but don't you worry. You'll be begging for death soon."

"And why's that?"

"Because my friends are here," Dabura said before he started laughing.

"There are more of you?"

Just as said that, as if on cue, Gohan caught two energy balls coming for him – but he easily dodged them. He quickly looked up to see his attackers, but almost lost all his breath when his eyes set on two familiar faces.

"Th-That's impossible!"

Gohan has just seen two familiar faces. Who are they? How did they get here? How does Gohan know them? What are they planning? And are they as strong as Dabura thinks? Find out in Chapter 3: By The Light Of The Moon.
